Hi,
A couple of weeks ago I bought a Marantz NA7004, and since then I've been racking my brains as to why it won't work 100% as it should. The issues I'm having are:
1. Organisation of tracks/albums. Whenever I rip a CD on my computer using Windows Media Player and put it on my NAS drive (a Buffalo CH2 0TL 2TB), the tracks, after a period of time, show up fine if you search for folders in the menus, but if you search for 'Artists', they all go in to the 'Unknown' catagory. In there is track 1 of every album, followed by track 2 and so on.
2. When playing the music files stored on the NAS, there are gaps between the tracks. All the files have been ripped from the original CD's in WAV format. Gapless playback is a must, and it's very frustrating!
3. When playing via Airplay through an iPhone or iTunes on my PC, it works for a while, but then the music stops and the iPhone and the computer refuse to acknowledge its existance.
Any help is appreciated as to why it's not co-operating. Having said all the above, it really does sound amazing for the £380 it cost, and the build quality is fantastic.
Many thanks.
